Club Night – Beginners
The South - Portelet (The Gritstone)

Wednesday 2nd April 2025 • 4:30 pm - 7:41 pm

First club night of the year!!!!!

We’re starting at The Gritstone. It’s an inland crag so access is easy and with the nights still being relatively short, it makes for a quick exit before we’re benighted (hoperfully).

If you’re new to our club nights, we start off by setting up the ropes. This is a good time to talk to our volunteers, who will help you get kitted up and explain how we run things.

We’ll meet at Portelet Common car park at 4:30 and walk to the crag from there. Bring warm clothes as it can still get pretty cold this time of year once the sun drops below the headland.

Please note that ALL attendees need to be current members in order to climb on club ropes as well as borrow any club gear. Read more in our frequently asked questions.

Please RSVP to let us know you’re attending and if you need to borrow a harness. If you have any questions, contact us on Discord.

Hope to see you there!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to join the club to attend club night?

If you are an independent climber with your own gear and require no instruction or supervision, then no. However if you are new to climbing, we do require you to be a member to provide 3rd party liability insurance from the BMC. This ensures that all parties are insured if an incident occurs as a result of using our gear or receiving advice or instruction from our members.

Membership starts at £15 for 3 months, or £30 for the year. Find out more here: Become a Member.

Do I need any previous experience?

Not at all. We have experienced members and volunteers on hand teach you the skills and techniques to climb safely.

Do I need to bring anything with me?

Providing you are a member (see above), the club provides all the equipment you will need to take part in the session. The only equipment we don’t provide is climbing shoes, but if you don’t have any of your own, just wear some comfortable, well fitting trainers. Make sure you also bring plenty to eat and drink and dress appropriately for the weather.

If you attend club nights regularly, you’re encouraged to invest in your own equipment as newer members will have priority when it comes to using club gear. Read our equipment guide for advice on what to buy.

How do I find you?

The map on this page is true and accurate. Study it and make note of landmarks before the session. If you allow location permissions in the browser on your mobile device, it will show your location on the map to help you find your way. There are also links to show the location of the crag in Google Maps and What3words.

Can my child come along?

We do not accept children under 15. If your child is between 15 and 18 we will need a parent or guardian present who shall be responsible for them at all times during the session. Read more about children and the JRCC.
